What do you mean it thinks your desktop is a laptop? There isn't any difference in the interface between a desktop and a laptop.

@tgm4883 one interface difference would be the battery monitor.

If you are looking under "Displays" and you see this then it is a bug in the system and you don't have anything to worry about. Ubuntu doesn't run any different on a Desktop than on a Laptop anyway. (Besides the differences in hardware affecting the OS ergo RAM, HDD, ETC.)
